I saw my pdoc today and weighed there for the first time since seeing my endo and getting the Armour, and I've lost about 15 lbs. It feels SO nice to finally not be looked at like I'm a closet binger! I take Adderall and my appetite is already non-existent, but I'd had severe constipation that was causing horrific back pain/sciatica pain if I walked or stood longer than a few minutes. Addressing the thyroid helped the constipation (I am SHOCKED, i thought it was unfixable at this point - I'd tried EVERYTHING and my GI doc was no real help other than suggesting it maybe might be related to the thyroid), so then that in turn eased the back pain eventually. Last week I was FINALLY able to go on a LONG fast-paced walk and I can slowly move back up on exercise now. Before I couldn't even stand up long enough to wash dishes for a few minutes because the pain was so intense.

It's so freakin' RELIEVING to see my efforts not be completely fruitless. I still have quite a bit to lose but at least if I follow "normal" diet and exercise junk like a normal human being it'll slowly come off. I am SO happy about this!!!
